Blueprint Selective Sync

The way Blueprint courses currently work, once you design your blueprint template and you associate a course, the content begins to sync automatically.

If you wish to inject content into any existing course designs, the settings of the template can get transferred to the existing courses in at least one undesirable way: the course home page setting which is the choice of the course instructor/designer will be overwritten with the way the course home page is set up in the blueprint template. The option to apply course settings are not available until a change to the blueprint template is made.

This idea is to enhance the blueprint workflow to only initiate a sync when the blueprint course admin desires rather than upon first association.

Yes but only partially if it doesn't allow for the course settings to be available to the blueprint admin to choose to sync at the desired time. This idea is to address how to get just one part of a course content and then be given the option to select the course settings and other things that the blueprint template ui doesn't provide when you are establishing what content is going to get synced.

Here is what I wish showed inside up the last time we did a blueprint template project before any sync began in the first place:

So if this option to sync settings was part of the blueprint template ui on the course itself, that would have helped. You only get this option if you make a change to the blueprint template after the first sync which happens on first association with any course.
